The European Transport Conference
- a key event in the transport calendar

The demands on Europe's transport systems continue to both increase and change as a result of a number of factors - economic growth, social change, demographics and the need to become more sustainable. Such change demands innovative and robust responses which are affordable. Transport practitioners and researchers throughout Europe are responding to these challenges and the European Transport Conference, now in its 36th year, is the key annual event for sharing innovation, best practice and networking with colleagues from more than 30 countries.

Special Offers for Practitioners

The Association for European Transport is keen to attract more representatives from the public sector to ETC and is making an attractive offer to practitioners and officials from local and regional government to attend ETC on a "two for the price of one" basis. If you would like to take up this offer then please indicate on the booking form. Please note that delegates must be from the same organisation and the bookings should be sent together.

The Conference is unique in Europe, attracting over 500 transport practitioners and researchers to a meeting place, where they can find in-depth presentations on policy issues, research findings and best practice across a broad spectrum of transport modes.

If you come to the Conference, it may be to present a paper or to listen to others but you will find yourself in the midst of an expanding network of professionals who are committed to a common cause of moving forward the transport agenda to be tackled in Europe and its neighbouring countries. Papers are presented by active professionals and researchers, selected by the most respected members of the transport profession in Europe.

Each year, the Conference attracts new delegates, keen to experience this "meeting of minds" and to immerse themselves in three days of high-quality technical and policy presentations and discussion. About a third of delegates return each year - confirmation of the quality of the programme and presentations and the overall excellence of the value for money offered. This is also confirmed by the consistently high rating in post-conference research.
